Washington, D.C. — Avoq today announced that Jeff Levey, a seasoned tax policy expert with more than three decades of experience advising global companies on legislative and regulatory issues, has joined the firm as a Senior Advisor on the Government Relations team.
Levey brings a distinguished career in Washington, D.C. and internationally, where he has guided financial institutions, multinational corporations and industry coalitions through complex tax policy challenges. His expertise spans U.S. and global tax reform, international corporate taxation, financial services policy and regulatory engagement. Levey has led multi-company coalitions on critical tax-related issues and policy.
“Jeff is a highly respected leader in the tax policy arena whose insights and experience will add significant value to our clients navigating today’s fast-changing policy landscape,” said Managing Partner Steve Elmendorf. “His ability to anticipate policy developments and lead successful advocacy efforts will strengthen our Government Relations practice while deepening the counsel we provide.”
Most recently, Levey served as an Executive Director at Ernst & Young’s Washington Council (WCEY), where for nearly 16 years before retiring, he advised global companies on federal and international tax policy matters. He led teams supporting clients before Congress, the Treasury Department, the IRS and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), with a particular focus on the financial services industry.
